Most people treat jet lag like bad weather, annoying, unavoidable, and something to just “push through.
You don’t need to be wrecked after a long flight.
Jet lag isn’t just about time zones, it’s about what your nervous system needs to adapt and recover.
Here’s what I teach my high-performing clients who travel often.
Jet lag happens when your internal clock (circadian rhythm) gets out of sync with your new environment.
But with the right inputs light, timing, movement and rest you can support your brain and body to adapt faster. And that’s a game changer for anyone who travels for work and needs to perform on the go.
- Use light as your reset button.
Your brain uses light to tell time. Get bright sunlight in your eyes first thing in the morning at your destination. It’s the fastest way to realign your internal clock. - Pre-adjust your sleep.
Shift your sleep/wake times a few days before flying. Even a small adjustment can make your body adapt more smoothly. - Support circulation and hydration.
Flying dehydrates you and reduces blood flow. Drink water, eat light, and move regularly.
You don’t have to “push through” jet lag. You just need to understand how your body clock works and help it adjust instead of override it.
